I'm thinking of writing a book. Actually, I'm thinking of writing several, but specifically, I'm thinking of writing a book about the time spent in the camper and the preparations we made before building our house.

For the past three years. I've had the opportunity to explain to folks that we are living in a camper while we build our house. In that time I've gotten a lot of, "Oh, we did that!"

The whole time, I have been wondering, "If so many people have done this, then where is the book that would have made my life easier for the past three years?"

Then I remembered that I am a writer and I could write just such a book!

Here are some of my ideas. Please remember that this is a brainstorm, and is not a finished product. The ideas here are not in any specific order, and will most likely change about a hundred times before the book is published! This list will get updated as I think of things to add or change, and as you make suggestions.
